Session 202: Integrating Artificial Intelligence to Rethink Teaching and Assessment

Date: Thursday, January 9

Time: 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM

Location: Hall of Science T07

Presenter: Krisztina Domjan (Professorial Lecturer, Global and Immersive Studies)

Session Description:

In this workshop, participants will explore the pedagogical benefits of AI tools in teaching, learning, and assessment via the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) model and learn strategies for incorporating AI into lesson planning and innovative assessment methods aligned with the learning sciences. After learning these approaches, faculty will implement new practices for crafting and posting their Canvas assignments to better align with AI-informed pedagogy.

Learning Outcomes:

• Design lesson plans that incorporate AI tools and foster deeper learning and cross-disciplinary thinking.
• Identify teaching strategies that emphasize open-ended exploration, project-based learning, and AI-supported problem-solving.
• Develop new assessment approaches rethinking traditional assessments and implement innovative methods.
• Evaluate how the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) model can guide effective AI integration in teaching and assessment, focusing on optimizing the learning experience.
• Identify AI tools such as AI tutors and adaptive simulations to enhance personalized student learning experiences
